For jeans I'd also recommend http://www.motoport.com. They've got a few
kinds, some with kevlar... they're not cheap but they are very effective. A
friend went down (missed a turn, end of a long long day of hot riding) this
spring. He slid quite a ways on asphalt and I swear you could not tell
anything had happened by looking at the pants or jacket he was wearing.
Sold me anyways.
